The "Diablo-style action-RPG spin-off" Darksiders Genesis was confirmed for the Nintendo Switch and multiple other platforms last month. Alongside the standalone release, there'll also be a few other versions of the game you can pick up. Surprisingly, this offer extends to Nintendo Switch owners.
First up is the Nephilim Edition, limited to 5,000 units worldwide. It includes the game, a steel book case, 9-inch Strife figurine, art book, stickers, soundtrack and a board game titled Darksiders: The Forbidden Land. According to pre-order listings over on Amazon, it'll set you back $379.99 / £349.99.
If you simply haven't got that much money to burn, you can always opt with the more affordable Collector's Edition. It includes everything but the board game and is priced at $119.99 / £109.99 on Amazon. A standard copy of the game is priced at $39.99 / £34.99, but there's no release date just yet.
For more information about the game itself, check out our previous post.

So... the board game costs £240? Is it made of solid gold and diamonds?
Chump change.... let me just bust out the ol’ wallet.... *moths fly out

@Ooyah Yeah, like seriously... Who manufactured that thing? CMON, Fantasy Flight and Monolith consistently put games out with more pieces (unless not everything is in the picture), publish fewer copies, and still release at half that price. The picture makes it look like a reimplementation of Heroscape, but I'd be interested in reading the rules at the very least.
Wouldn't they even consider Darksiders 2 Deathfinitive edition for the Switch at this point? Instead of this expensive collectors edition?
Methinks boardgame producers milk their fan base like none other. They joke surely same as that crowdfunding thing other day.
Pass from me
They spelt 'gullable edition' wrong.
Looking forward to the game, but 350 quid is just coocoo.
Sorry, how much?????? 😱😱😱
That's one hell of an expensive board game…I think I'll be passing on it since there's so many better uses for my money like buying chocolate or more video games.
I'm actually making my own board game now, a unique one as it's not intended to be mass-produced or sold. I'm currently looking into methods of handcrafting figurines in a reasonably priced, durable, versatile, and creative way, but think I'll stick with the old polymer clay sculpting and baking.
I don't think I'll come close to the price they're asking, even if I count single purchase requirements that I already have. In all honesty though, I got an old oven for free.
I have tried with forums but this error affects me there the ad overlays for ads have been covering up the upper part of this website for me to the point I can't see anything from top to about midway in a news post so I also can't make a forum post about this who can I talk to about this problem?
@GrailUK ahem... 'gullible'
@Lordplops Haha. I'm not editing it because it's funny 🙂
350 smackers! W!T!F! no one is there right mind is paying that surely?!
This is one of those collectors editions to keep an eye on. At $380 there can't be much interest but during a steep discount, say $150? It might be worth it at that point.
For Canadians, the standard edition is $40 CAD on EB Games. Not sure why but I bought it! No collector in Canada it looks like, for now.
60-100 is normal for a tabletop game >.> unless it contains a ton of figures as well that would normally be in expansions, there's no reason it should be 240
If they don't make more of the board game it would definitely be quite the collector's item in the long run, but it's still really steep.
Can I skip the game and just get the board game?
